Detention: Saturday, January 14, 2006

Rita happily pointed her wand at the board, making a list of names appear.

Han Solo
Pippi Longstocking
Pip Bernadette
Quinn Morgendorffer
John Sheppard
Lana Lang
Maia Rutledge

James Ford
Barbossa


“Students are expected to sign in,” Rita said. As soon as Quinn and Barbossa took their seats, Rita set a pile of writing materials on the former’s desk, and nine pairs of dragonhide gloves, as well as nine tiny nets, on latter’s.
 
“Boys and girls, it seems you’ve been naughty this week,” Rita said disapprovingly, addressing the whole class. “So until midnight tonight, you’re all going to be staying here. And you’ll be doing punishments to fit the crimes and according to my whims, really. And since there are only two students in here who seemingly did not cause mischief to ear this detention - Mr. Barbossa and Ms. Morgendorffer - they will be my Special Helpers for the day. That means, Special Helpers - if you see someone misbehaving, let me know immediately.”



  1. “Thanks to Mr. Solo, you will all write me a one hundred-word essay on respecting the privacy of the opposite sex. If I am not satisfied with your essay, you will make a better effort. Ms. Morgendorffer, you are in charge of passing out the writing material and collecting it. And boys and girls - I expect neat work.”

  2. “Because of all of you who thought that playing in the water would be fun, I’m going to teach you about the things that actually live in the water.” She indicated three tanks at the front of the room, and lifted the dropcloths off of them. In each one, nettles and grayish-green, slimy plants grew. The students’ attention was more likely to be on the pale green, goblin-like creatures, however.

    “I would like you all to harvest as much gillyweed - the stuff that looks like rat tails - out of there before you leave. In groups of three - Mr. Ford, Mr. Sheppard and Mr. Solo together; Ms. Longstocking, Ms. Lang and Ms. Rutledge; and Ms. Morgendorffer, Mr. Barbossa and Mr. Bernadette. Please wait for Mr. Barbossa to hand out your protective gloves and nets.”

  3. “Then we will have lunch. I hope you all like what I’ve provided.”

  4. “After lunch, there will be some beginner's potion-making - you will all be extracting four ounces - that’s approximately a full plant’s worth - of bubotuber pus." Rita pointed to nine slug-like plants on her desk. "You will work alone. Continue to wear your gloves, boys and girls, unless you’d rather like to have boils."

  5. “And once that is finished, you will spend the rest of your time quietly in your seats, doing lines.”


“I will not - I repeat, will not tolerate undue chatter in this detention. And do not forget that I have a wand, whereas none of you do. Anyone who talks out of turn runs the risk of being jinxed or worse. I will not hesitate to full body-bind any of you, much less transfigure you into something unpleasant for the duration of the day.”

She smiled sweetly. “Any questions?”


[ooc: All right kiddies, here’s how it’s going to go:

Comment in all of the threads. RP out what Rita has asked you to do. If you don’t, she will be cranky. If you talk about non-detention stuff, and Rita catches you, she will be cranky. If you talk back, she will be very cranky.

If Rita gets cranky, she will seriously cast a spell on you.

I won’t do anything to actually HARM a single student in here. But you might find yourselves unable to move, turned into a highly unpleasant animal, tickling for no reason at all, and so on. Furthermore, she’ll assign you detention again next week if she has to take to magical measures.

I do expect to see a full 100 word essay.

The grindylows will not bite unless you piss them off. Be careful.

The food is not poisoned. Scout’s honor. :)

The bubotuber pus is your own domain. Get boils, don’t, whatever.

And as for the lines, C&P is your friend. And yes, Rita and I are both OCD enough to check that your character has done it the full 25 times.

Finally - if you don’t know HP canon, please do take advantage of those links. Additionally, you can ping me in the OOC thread, or I *should* be on AIM (beetlewhatbeetle).

Most of all, remember: Rita is not nice. She is not your pal. She is a bitch, and she *will not* hesitate to turn you into a newt. (And you will not get getting better...until I say so, anyway.)

And you won’t be getting out until 3 AM EST. Sorry, guys. Like I said...Rita is a bitch. *shrug* And you know the rules on that - no playing in anything else until that time. And if I catch you? Consequences.


[ooc2: OCD threads going up momentarily. Wait for them and then please do use them ARE UP.]

[ooc3: I'm going AFK for an hour. If you have questions, hold off until I get back, please. BACK, YO.]

Yawning, Pip enters and signs in. He still hasn't bothered to rebraid his hair, so it's flowing behind him in what is commonly known as "a bloody mess" behind him.

He takes a seat at the desk.

Lana signs in. She looks a little pale and shaky, but the HangQuel Han gaves her last night before she went to bed really seems to have helped. She nods at Pip and attempts a weak smile.

Pip nods back, not sure if he wants to talk out of turn in detenition with a teacher who can turn him into something really nasty.

Lana glances around casually to make sure the teacher isn't watching, then slips Pip a piece of paper.

Did I do or say anything really embarrassing or stupid last night? If so I apologize.

Barbossa signed in with a shrug. He waved cheerfully to Professor Skeeter.

Barbossa handed gloves and nets to his partners first.

It is very important to respect the privacy of the opposite sex. Everyone has the right to privacy and it can be especially important across gender lines. It would be completely inappropriate to disrobe in front of a member of the opposite sex unless they were into it as well, or unless, well, you were doing something together where nakedness was kind of key and also a lot of fun as it could make them highly uncomfortable. When interacting with members of the opposite sex it is important to be aware of the differences between the sexes which, really are very, very nice differences and can be a whole lot of fun to explore when you have the opportunity, though again, that can also include nakedness and take them into account before doing anything which might result in discomfort discomfort being a relative term and some people actually find that a little discomfort can make the whole experience even more exciting, not that I am suggesting anything about my own experiences in any way as I have yet to explore - but maybe we're straying into the area of 'too much information' - either physical or psychological. It is very important that people all are able to get along well and being able to respect other people's privacy - especially those of the other sex - is a good first step along that path.

Wenches be most deservin’ o’ privacy. Thar be many mysterious things that wenches do that we men be not understandin’ -- wearin’ corsets, puttin’ on makeup, enjoyin’ boy band music, gigglin’ about us in corners – and they should be given the freedom t’ do these manner o’ things without fear o’ bein’ interrupted. The wenches’ bathroom be the most private o’ private places, because as I far as I be tellin’, they be combinin’ all of their mysterious activities together in that one place, which be even marked as somewhere that men be not allowed t’ go.

So don’t.

The privacy of the opposite sex is important for many reasons. Many of them are moral, ethical, and personal respect reasons. And I believe in personal respect and morals quite highly, even though I’m a little fuzzy on the whole ethics things. And I only believe in personal respect in the sense that I think its okay to prank as long as no real harm is done.

Hence the whole golf cart thing.

Anyway, privacy for the opposite sex is also important for aesth, pretty asthettic MERDE esthétique reasons. Part of the allure of the opposite sex is their mystery. If men knew everything there is to know about women, the chase would not be as hurried. Oh, there still would be a chase, but we would know what was coming. It wouldn’t be nearly exciting.

There is:

black pudding, tripe, porridge and pumpkin juice to drink.

She is very, very very British.


I'm not gonna say a word, I'm really not.

Pip takes the gloves and net gladly. "I don't suppose either of you could help me with my hair?" he said. "Only I don't want it to be so out of control when doing a job like this. Think one of you could braid it realy quick? I've got a tie."

Barbossa handed out gloves and nets to the three girls after his own group had gotten theirs.

After making very sure that he won't get caught, Pip passes a message back.

You said you'd rather make out with Vice-Principal Hawkeye than any of the other administratoin members. And you said that Shelp was your boyfriend. Which I had kind of assumed anyway.

"That be not a problem," Barbossa said, walking around behind Pip. "Regular braidin' be fine, aye?"

Lana, without speaking, so as not to break any rules, quickly gathered together his hair and braided it out of the way.
